Novel that Reads More Like a Memoir at Times - My Review of The Desire

Written by: Dan Walsh and Gary Smalley

Published by: Revell

I enjoy reading all types of contemporary fiction, so I was
happy to be given the chance to read and review this book.

The Desire tells the story of a married couple who is unable
to get pregnant. While the woman longs for the chance to have a child of her
own, her husband is more focused on the mission trip that he has just been on
and the poor children he saw there.

Who the book is for:

Those who enjoy contemporary Christian novels about
relationships.

What I liked:

The story was interesting and unique.

The characters were somewhat likeable.

What I didn’t like:

There is a whole issue in regard to a single mom giving up
her baby that I didn’t like. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, and I don’t
want to start a rant, but there was just something that I disagreed with.

Parts of the book felt more like reading a memoir than
fiction – the parts that focused on the mission work.

I received this book free to review from Revell. The
opinions expressed in this review are my true thoughts and feeling regarding
this book. I am disclosing this information in accordance with the Federal
